Abstract:

The paper aims to identify the pathogen of root rot and put forward green biological control measures. The pathogen of root rot of Cymbidium sinense was isolated by tissue isolation method, and identified by morphology and molecular biology. The pathogenicity was verified by Koch’s law. At the same time, 20 strains of bacteria were isolated from the roots and soil of wild healthy C. sinense by dilution coating method. Through plate confrontation culture, one strain of bacteria MJ5-1 was screened, which could antagonize two pathogens. The 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the antagonistic strain was Bacillus pumilus. The results showed that Fusarium solani was the pathogen of root rot of cultivated C. sinense in Mojiang. B. pumilus MJ5-1 could inhibit the growth of mycelium and spore of F. solani. This study could provide a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and pollution-free control of root rot of cultivated C. sinense.

Key words: root rot of Cymbidium sinense, tissue isolation method, pathogen, identification, antagonistic bacteria, screening
